Do you dream of coastal views from your bedroom window or perhaps a panoramic mountain range?
If it’s stunning views that you are after, the west coast of Scotland can offer you this and plenty more.
CKD Galbraith currently has two contrasting coastal properties on the west Highland market, located on opposite sides of Loch Broom and a little over an hour’s drive from Inverness. Both properties take full advantage of the local surroundings and will leave you enchanted.
Tanglewood House, situated in Ullapool, is a unique south-facing home which has its own private beach.
What really sets this property apart though is its spectacular loch and mountain views from almost every room in the house.
It has five en-suite bedrooms each with a craftsman finished interior, and a balcony access from the master bedroom means the views can be fully appreciated.
The house also comes with a drawing room, dining room, study and kitchen as well as practical spaces such as a second kitchen/laundry room, utility room and ample storage space.
With access to Loch Broom at the bottom of the garden, mountains on the doorstep and attractive wooded grounds and a walled vegetable garden, the house, which is on the market at offers over £600,000, is a rural gem.
However, if it’s a cosy traditional abode that you’re after, then No. 12 could be your lucky number.
The charming croft cottage sits in the scattered crofting township of Big Sand and like Tanglewood, it enjoys west-coast views, but on a smaller scale.
This two-bedroom cottage has panoramic views over The Minch towards the Isle of Skye and would make an ideal second home or a popular holiday let.
The cottage has been sensitively modernised to retain its traditional croft appeal but is enough of a blank canvas to allow you to style to your own tastes or retain the current simple cosy interior design. No. 12 is on the market for offers over £110,000.
Phiddy Robertson, of CKD Galbraith, said: “The west Highland and Sutherland region is diverse and offers some of the most stunning coastal areas in the country. It is unusual that two such stunning properties in this region have come on to the open market and we expect keen interest from those seeking their rural ideal or buyers keen to invest in the second-home market.”
The area is popular for sailing, hill walking and climbing while the nearby village of Gairloch has all the necessary amenities such as supermarkets, a bank, post office and a golf course.
Winding from Loch Linnhe in the south all the way up to Durness, the area, which is known for its beautiful scenery, encompasses Ullapool, Mallaig and Skye.
Visitor attractions include Eilean Donan Castle and the Five Sisters mountains, while the coastal road is dotted with friendly villages, rugged coastline, mountain views and sandy beaches, which can be enjoyed at Loch Gairloch.
